It's done well though... 7 years of almost daily use and up till recently it cleaned up fairly well. I think over time even the most non-stick of non-stick irons lose their non-stickiness.<br />I'm almost ridiculously pleased at the prospect of getting a new one... considering I HATE ironing! ;)<br />I'll also try your suggestion of fabric softener sheets to keep the new one pristine. <br />What could possibly go wrong! ;)Sandra Morrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01607303994667115600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945127844477191398.post-48451383087455705962017-05-29T06:04:12.995+00:002017-05-29T06:04:12.995+00:00Hi Sandra

Their fiddly bits of cotton need to be ironed on to self-bonding stuff that also sticks to the soleplate of the iron. <br />They came armed with a roll of fabric softener sheets that one uses in a tumble drier. (Also something I have no experience of, there's lots of sunshine in South Africa and I use a washing line).<br />Whenever the soleplate becomes soiled, they iron over a fabric softener sheet and it takes the grunge right off.<br />I'm afraid it's much too late for your iron, and from your description I'm not sure it would have worked. It sounds like you will be shopping for a new one.<br />But maybe try it next time you need to clean the soleplate ;-)<br /> Megan Schetschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267976778350267276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945127844477191398.post-61339775173555256632017-05-28T20:34:44.969+00:002017-05-28T20:34:44.969+00:00Absolutely agree Rosanna!

He means that , while ironing, you can watch a movie, talk to your spouse, help the kids with their home works ..... How can he think so ???<br />I hate ironing from the bottom of my heart no matters how many movies I have watched doing it.<br />I am sorry for your iron, hopefully it will work fine tomorrow.<br />Good night, Rosannarosannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760301976359983285noreply@blogger.com
